How many billions in profit is enough? If adblockers stop working in Chrome, people (me included) are still not going to see ads, and we won't be using Chrome either.

I get that business becomes gamified to try and squeeze the most profit as possible. It happens because the big wigs only look at the numbers, and it's not anyone in particulars fault. I can imagine a new manager of sorts trying to make a name for themselves in a big company such as Google, suggesting that stopping ad blockers could make X Million $ more per year and they might even get a promotion for it.
